Russia: UFC Champion Khamzat Chimaev & Chechen Leader Ramzan Kadyrov's Son, Adam Kadyrov, Involved In Car Accident | Reports

Key Highlights

• Roads leading to the medical facility were reportedly closed, although Russian outlet ASTRA said Yandex. Traffic data had not shown widespread road closures or major congestion across the city. NIYSO also reported that 31-year-old mixed martial artist Khamzat Chimaev was in the vehicle and later hospitalised with injuries, while stressing that details of his condition remain unclear. Canadian reporter Ariel Helwani, who covers mixed martial arts and professional wrestling, has refuted the reports that Chimaev was in the accident.
• "Been asked and seeing tweets that Khamzat Chimaev was in a car accident.
• His manager tells me that’s not true.
• He’s home in Abu Dhabi and all is well," Helwani posted on X.
• The opposition group further claimed that another son of a high-ranking Chechen official was among the injured, though this information has not been independently verified. As of now, neither Ramzan Kadyrov nor Chechen authorities have issued any public statements regarding the incident. Chimaev, born in Chechnya in 1994, previously competed for Sweden and later represented the United Arab Emirates.
